What is the best way to cook apple slices?
Add the sliced apples. Stir well to coat. Stir often and cook apples until tender. Serve warm. Enjoy! Granny Smiths, or any hard, firm apple are best. To keep apple slices from turning brown once you slice them, place them in a bowl of cold water to which youāve added a teaspoon of lemon juice.
How do you make apple syrup with apple slices?
Once the syrup has come to a boil, strain the apple slices from the lemon juice/ascorbic acid water and add them directly to the boiling canning liquid. Cook the apple slices for 5 minutes in the hot liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
How do I can apples?
The first step when canning apples is to prepare the fruit. Remove the skin, using a sharp paring knife or a vegetable peeler, core the apple, and cut into uniform slices.
How do you make the perfect apple crisp?
Wash the apples. Remove the cores. Slice, and set aside. Place a cast iron skillet over just below Medium heat on your stove top. When pan is hot, add the stick of butter. Add the granulated sugar. Add the brown sugar. Add the cinnamon. Add the nutmeg, if desired. Stir well until butter melts and sugars dissolve.
